I used this plugin to add the following action to my site:<\/p>\n

\n

\nadd_filter(‘widget_posts_args’,’modify_widget’);<\/p>\n

function modify_widget() {
\n $r = array( ‘cat’ => ‘6’ );
\n return $r;
\n}<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wanted to make the WP native Recent Posts widget populate only one category. <\/p>\n

It didn’t work, so I removed the PHP code from the plugin. However, now the Recent Posts widget is broken (will not show up on frontend), and I can’t find the code in my functions.php to fix the issue.<\/p>\n

(I tried removing & replacing the widget, deactivating the plugin, and searching the php…all to no avail.)<\/p>\n

Anyone know what’s wrong? I have no idea even where to start looking. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help.<\/p>\n
